The depth of your heart shines through your posts and you are such an encouragement.<BR/><BR/>Whatever your grief may be, I am sorry for your suffering. I am speaking on the 'aroma of Christ' in Corinthians in a couple of months and have done a word study on 'aroma' and 'fragrance'. Powerful! The sweet aroma of Christ comes only from or after brokenness, suffering, deep sacrifice, etc. <BR/><BR/>Think of these things: an onion, a blade of grass, a scented candle, a cinnamon stick, a clove of garlic -- what do these smell like in their original, unaltered form? Now think of these things: sauteed onions, freshly cut grass, burning scented candle, grated cinnamon stick and crushed garlic. I think you get the idea -- these things smell the strongest after they have been cut, burned, grated, and crushed. <BR/><BR/>Your pain gives you the sweet aroma of Christ that benefits those around you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
